Gymkana's classes extend the philosophy of the University of Maryland Gymkana Troupe by providing an opportunity for children and adults of all abilities to learn gymnastics, while stressing healthy, drug-free living. Our program provides an environment to learn and participate in gymnastics without the pressure of competition.

The Touring Show

Each year the University of Maryland Gymkana Troupe tours Maryland and neighboring states, performing action-packed acrobatic circus performances and promoting an anti-drug message to students. Students influencing students to soar above the influence of drugs is the heart of Gymkana's program. The Troupe's performance showcases heart-pounding routines, including the famous vaulting act where gymnasts launch themselves off mini trampolines and perform crisscrossing handsprings, round-offs and flips over a vault box!
